Abstract
In an electronic device printed circuit boards in a housing are kept parallel to each other by guiding means. One or a plurality of these printed circuit boards is connected with a housing part each on their corresponding edge by means of electronic plug-in connections. To secure the electronic plug-in connections, spring means are provided which exert pressure on opposite edges of the printed circuit boards in the direction of the plug-in connection.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. Electronic device comprising:
a housing;
printed circuit boards, wherein a plurality of printed circuit boards are connected with a housing part on one edge each by at least one electronic plug-in connection;
guiding means, wherein the printed circuit boards are kept parallel to each other in the housing by the guiding means; and
spring means, which apply force to the printed circuit boards and press them into their respective plug-in connections, wherein the spring means comprise at least one leaf spring with a fastening section and with a spring section which is subdivided into separated spring elements, and wherein a spring element is provided for each printed circuit board with a plug-in connection.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the spring means are fastened to the opposite housing part.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the guiding means are arranged on the opposite edges of the printed circuit boards.
4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the guiding means are fastened to the opposite housing part.
5. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the guiding means comprise at least one guiding strip provided with grooves for the printed circuit boards.
6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the fastening section of the leaf spring is fastened together with the guiding strip on the opposite housing part.
7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein two spaced apart arrangements of a leaf spring and a guiding strip are provided.
8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting part is provided by means of which a detachable electronic connection can be provided to another electronic device.
9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , which is designed as a recording device.
10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , which is designed as a detachable recording device for a camera.Cited by (0)
